Here’s the Weird Place You Should Visit, Based On Your Myers-Briggs® Personality Type

Halloween is just a day away, and with it many people are looking up the nearest haunted houses or corn mazes. With that in mind, I thought to myself “I wonder how many weird and little-known locations there are that would appeal to the 16 personality types?”

Today I’m compiling my research on all places out-of-the-ordinary and selecting the one that (I think) fits best for each of the 16 Myers-Briggs® personality types. Keep in mind, these are all simply my best guesses. And the place that appeals to you could largely depend on other lifestyle preferences (some of you might prefer hiking over a museum most days). I could be wrong – so the comments are always open for your thoughts and perspectives!

The ENTP – Time Travel Mart in Los Angeles, California

A Look at the ENTP: ENTPs are extroverted theorists who enjoy discovering the in’s and out’s of how ideas and concepts fit together. They are drawn to mental models, exploration, and pattern-seeking. Like most Intuitive-Perceivers, they feel a strong tie to both the past and the future; a certain nostalgic quality for past experiences, but an even greater drive to hypothesize and create big ideas for the days that lie ahead.

A Look at Time Travel Mart:

ENTPs are fascinated by time; what could be and what has been and where it’s all going. As dominant intuitives, they enjoy looking around and finding objects and experiences that inspire ideas and opportunities. On top of that, ENTPs also have a slightly nostalgic side that shows up from time-to-time. At Time Travel Mart, ENTPs will fall in love with the slogan “Whenever you are, we’re already then.” They’ll enjoy diving into humorous relics from the past, present, and future and laughing at the humor that’s characteristic of the shop.

Feeling hungry? You can get a can of ‘Primordial soup’ or some doughnuts that claim to be from 1985.

Want to catch up on the news? Check out a noticeboard on the wall filled with off-the-wall advertisements, like a flyer seeking a reality TV show contestant for a dating series where ‘Henry VIII is looking for his next wife’.

Time Travel Mart isn’t just a kitschy mini-mart, it’s an art installation/curiosity shop/comedic presentation that also works to fund writing workshops for kids.

The INFP – Waitomo Caves, New Zealand

A Look at the INFP: These introverted idealists strive to live according to a rich set of inner values. Filled with equal parts conviction and imagination, INFPs dream of a better and kinder world. Often creative, they can spot potential in every day objects and beauty in things others would find mundane. Some INFPs pursue careers that have a humanitarian quality to them, many are prolific writers, and others use art as a medium for their expression.

A Look at the Waitomo Caves:

INFPs often find themselves drawn to peaceful natural settings. They feel a sense of wonder and magic when they’re in the presence of something that gives them a feeling of awe while inspiring the imagination. The Waitomo Caves are a perfect example of this. With their delicate limestone formations and shimmering glowworms, the caves seem like something out of a fairy tale. They are also a place of great spiritual significance for the Maori people, who believe that the caves are the entrance to the underworld. For INFPs, who often feel a strong connection to the spiritual world, the Waitomo Caves offer a chance to connect with something bigger than themselves.

The INTP – Ye Olde Curiosity Shop in Seattle, Washington

A Look at the INTP: These introverted rational types are driven to understand how things and ideas and concepts all fit together. They enjoy merging ideas and theories into dynamic systems and models. They want to know the how and why of everything, and they are constantly seeking out knowledge.

A Look at Ye Olde Curiosity Shop:

INTPs will love Ye Olde Curiosity Shop, a shop that bills itself as “the oldest general store west of the Mississippi.” Founded in 1899, the shop is filled with a fascinating collection of oddities, curiosities, and collectibles. From shrunken heads to vintage postcards, there’s no shortage of things to excite the imagination and make one wonder. Visitors to this shop have included Teddy Roosevelt, Charlie Chaplin, John Wayne, and Katherine Hepburn!

But what makes this shop especially interesting for INTPs?

“Curiosity” is one word that aptly describes the INTP type, but that curiosity is easily fizzled out by gimmicks. Ye Olde Curiosity Shop, however, is the real deal. With its rich history and eclectic collection of items, the shop offers an endless supply of fodder for the INTP’s insatiable curiosity. This store is part historical museum and part treasure trove, and INTPs can easily find themselves wiling away hours researching the unique objects and pieces of history inside.

The ENFJ – Tunnel of Love in Ukraine

A Look at the ENFJ: These extroverted visionary types look for ways to bring people together and create a more harmonious world. As idealists, they long for a sense of meaning and personal significance in everything they do. Often they feel a drive to lead people towards their potential, and many say they can see talent and beauty where others do not.

A Look at the Tunnel of Love:

ENFJs love intimate connections with people; not just romantically, but platonically. Any setting that evokes a feeling of kinship, wonder, and possibility is likely to be a place that ENFJs will enjoy. The Tunnel of Love, located in Ukraine, is just such a place.

This natural wonder is a tunnel of trees that have grown to form an archway over the railway tracks. The effect is ethereal, and it’s easy to see why this spot has become a popular destination for couples who want to share a special, romantic moment.

But the Tunnel of Love is also a place of hope and possibility.

A Look at the Museum of Death:

The Museum of Death is not for the faint of heart. This macabre museum houses a collection of artifacts related to death, including everything from serial killer art to devices used in execution.

But why this particular spot for ENTJs? Aren’t they busy at board meetings or climbing the corporate ladder?

While ENTJs are known for their gung-ho work ethic and ambitious drive, what less people know about ENTJs is their fascination with abstract ideas and time. They think a lot about the big picture, the brevity of life, and questions like “What happens when we die?”

The Museum of Death is a place that would scare away many other types, but for ENTJs it’s a place to contemplate the great mysteries of life and death. It’s also a place to satiate their curiosity about the topics that other people fear to talk about.

This park is full of ethereal hoodoos, which are colorful rock formations that have been carved out by erosion over time. The setting is otherworldly, and it fosters the imagination with its strange and beautiful landscape. For INFJs, who often feel like they’re living in a world that doesn’t quite understand them, the Paint Mines can be a place of solace and self-discovery.

The INTJ – The Monsters of Bomarzo in Bomarzo, Italy

A Look at the INTJ: These introverted strategists long to conceive of new ways of thinking and understanding the world. They are often driven by an inner vision of how to improve the world and accomplish far-reaching goals. Quiet and intense, they find meaning in symbolism, metaphors, and quiet exploration.

A Look at the Monsters of Bomarzo:

INTJs are known for their quick minds and love of all things symbolic, conceptual, and deep. They’re the type of people who are always asking themselves “Why?” and “What does this mean?” and looking for significance and intuitive inspiration. The Monsters of Bomarzo, located in Bomarzo, Italy, is a place that would capture an INTJ’s imagination.

This sculpture garden is full of larger-than-life statues of mythological creatures, such as dragons, giants, and sea monsters. The statues are both beautiful and unsettling, which is exactly what commissioner Prince Pier Francesco Orsini, wanted. The Prince had just returned from a brutal war, witnessed the death of his friend, been held ransom for years, and come home only to have the wife he loved die. Overwhelmed by grief, the Prince wanted to create a shocking “Villa of Wonders” and hired architect Pirro Ligorio to design it.

Built during the Italian renaissance, the garden was a far cry from the symmetry of other Renaissance gardens. Instead, it was surreal, strange, and disorienting. I believe that this is a place where INTJs would feel inspired, intrigued, and curious. It’s a place filled with rich history; where someone can feel like they’re stepping into another world; and where they can find hidden meaning in the symbols and statues.
